Conception choice

by Christine Hill

question
How can I conceive a girl?

answer
I’m afraid there are no foolproof ways of conceiving a girl.

In theory, however, you are more likely to conceive a girl baby if you make love frequently during the ten days after your period finishes, and before you ovulate. Likewise, you are more likely to conceive a boy if you don’t make love until ovulation, which is usually around fourteen days after the beginning of your last period. But I have to say that there’s no firm evidence to support this in practice. As you probably know, it’s the man who is responsible for the baby’s sex. Good luck.
